Tulips/Daffodils/Alliums

Bulbs Planting

-Tulips-

- Tulips prefer a site with full or afternoon sun.

- Plant the bulbs in the fall when it starts to get colder out.

- Soil must be well-draining, neutral to slightly acidic, fertile, and dry or sandy.

- Tall varieties should be sheltered from strong winds.

- You'll want to space bulbs 4 to 6 inches apart, so choose a large enough planting site.

- Only water them once before watering them again in the spring

-Daffodils-

- You should wait until it starts to get to 60 degrees or colder in order to start planting daffodil bulbs.

- Pick a planting spot that has well-draining soil and also gets full to sun or a partial shady spot.

- Plant the Daffodil bulbs about 3-6 deep and 4-5 inches apart, placing them in the ground with their pointy ends up.

- Water them once and then wait until spring to start watering again.

- After the Daffodils have bloomed do not cut off the foliage.

-Alliums-

- Plant the Alliums in the fall when the trees start to lose their leaves.

- Make sure the place that you plant the bulbs that will be in a full sunny location or at least 6 hours of it.

- Plant the bulbs with well-draining soil.

- When planting Allium bulbs they should be 6 to 8 inches apart from each other, planting them stalk up.

- Water them until the soil is damp and wait until spring to starting watering again.

Making planting designs with all bulbs

When you want to make some different designs with planting bulbs the main thing you want to think about is the spacing with all the bulbs.

Tulips and daffodils are highly valued for their bold splashes of color in the spring. Growing them together will extend the early flowering season well into late spring. Tulips are an excellent flower for beds or borders and many daffodils are especially suited for grassy areas. If you add some alliums, it will make a pop of purple in there and if you wanted to you could make rows of each or make a sort of design with the three. You could even add taller tulips or different breeds of Tulips and Daffodils!
